Also with 23 episodes or whatever you're gonna get "filler" episodes which I enjoy.

Carlosologist posted:funniest scene of the episode was when Wally told Bart that they were brothers and Bart looked at his hand slowly, that got a good laugh from me Wally's shiteating smile was fantastic. Also, Barry Allen: Anime Nerd. I hope Cisco starts making Dragon Ball Z references next year.

This was a good episode, fluff or not. I really like the twist, but my biggest beef with the Savitar plot is that they waited too long on the reveal. They could have really done some interesting stuff with that reveal if they had given it some time to breathe.

It was definitely a lot of fluff and didn't really advance the main plot, but it was still one of the most solid episodes of the season. Next week's heist episode with Captain Cold also looks like it'll be a blast. It's an unorthodox approach to a season ending compared to s1 and s2, but I'm all for it if it means more light-hearted shenanigans.

I enjoyed the funny episode where humorous things happened and characters had fun interactions that didn't involve lies or crying

So it looks like next week Barry's gonna run back in time and pluck Snart out of Season 1 of Legends because the Waverider's in the background there in the promo. Christ, they are just going to increasingly elaborate lengths to get Wentworth Miller back in the Arrowverse and I love it E: Guy Goodbody posted:I enjoyed the funny episode where humorous things happened and characters had fun interactions that didn't involve lies or crying Same. I was wondering how they were gonna explain Barry getting mind wiped to Cecile and to my relief and amusement, Joe and Iris just straight up said "Yeah, we mind wiped him..." It was great!

Knowing what they do now, why are they still going through with the speedforce prison idea?

Yeah holy crap the episode was good but I needed more of Cecile dealing with the craziness, that was perfect. Like I love how she almost was ready to go with the flow but then it was even wackier: "so this is like a Flash thing right? He fought some villain who messed with his mind?" "uhh no we did this by accident". Stunt Rock posted:This was a good episode, fluff or not.

They could have really done some interesting stuff with that reveal if they had given it some time to breathe. Yeah for sure. It's actually not that bad, way better than Zoom, but they were so concerned trying to hold it off for a big late reveal that they missed the opportunity to do some cool stuff with it.

Yeah, why didn't Savitar just blink out of existence when Barry got VHS magnet'd? ...Oh that's right, it's Flash. I don't give a poo poo.

Oh man, Flashpoint was GREAT! I just got an hour of Thawne roasting the poo poo out of Barry. I'm a happy camper. Matt Letscher deserves all the praise.

Yeah, Matt Letscher was the MVP of Legends season 2. It's kind of a hit parade of awesome Thawne moments and Letscher is just having a loving blast through the whole thing, from "...They're idiots!" to The Leigon of Thawnes, he is a BIG part of why Legends went from being garbage TV to the top cut of the CWverse.

lotus circle posted:His powers originally came because Savitar caused them. Due to the regressive memory removal, Wally did not gain his powers because Savitar didn't have memories. That doesn't make any sense, everything else Savitar had done to that point was still in effect. If that's how it worked, then Julian shouldn't have been on the team either.

This does confirm that Savitar could be beaten with Barry getting some therapy sessions though.

I like that they directly address legit qualms about the show, even if they're dismissive and tongue in cheek. "Why don't I just kill myself like Eddie?" "How can we afford this apartment?" "Why am I much funner on screen when I'm not a brooding twit?"

Are we sure we're in the right timeline/multiverse? Because both Cisco's and Wally's hair looks A-MAAA-ZING!

It still boggles my mind that Legends Season 2 managed to salvage one of the worst seasons of TV ever made into something so self-aware and fun.

The main theme this season seems to have been "careful with time travel, Bart". Barry has been warned about it several times before, but it has never had any real consequences for him. He has been warned never to do it, but then always goes and uses it as a last resort anyway, and gets away with it. This season he started by doing something really stupid and preventing one of the most defining moments in his life, then afterwards trying to patch things up, causing the doom of his girlfriend and Savitar's existence. Hopefully this means next season Barry will be "Ok, maybe keep off the time travel FOR REALS this time."

Ojjeorago posted:I really enjoyed this episode because they briefly remembered how to write Barry Allen. A shame they did away with him again. Technically, this version of Barry would have actually been like the OG version of Barry we never saw in the series, right? The one who existed and became Flash a little while later in the timeline than our version. The one who existed pre-Thawne travelling back in time to kill Barry's mom and impersonate Wells.

Yep, it was actually the appearance of Black Flash in Legends that made me want to sit down and finish The Flash's second season so I could get to Flashpoint. Little did I know that, as always, the answer was "Barry is a selfish major league rear end in a top hat."

Wait, so can't Cisco brain wipe Barry again the same night Savitar kills Iris??? Or just ask Oliver to stop over and put an arrow in Savitar as soon as they wipe Barry's mind?? Why can't Barry just not make the time remnants in the future now??

I thought the deal was that this is the time remnant he created to help stop Zoom, that originally died but now survived due to Flashpoint. So it's too late to avoid creating the remnant that becomes Savitar, unless of course Barry goes back in time to oh god make it stop
